Comprehensive commercial plaza (integrating shopping, office, and catering, with a total floor area of 80,000 square meters). 15-story building (1-5 floors for retail, 6-15 floors for office), with a glass curtain wall area of 12,000 square meters and 320 sets of entrance doors and office windows.
Project manager of the property development company (focusing on energy efficiency, durability, and compliance with green building standards).
The initial design used ordinary single-layer glass curtain walls, resulting in serious heat loss in winter (indoor temperature fluctuation up to 8℃) and excessive heat gain in summer, leading to a 35% higher air-conditioning load than the industry average. Additionally, the metal frames of the original doors were prone to corrosion, requiring replacement every 3-5 years.
High operational energy costs (estimated annual air-conditioning expenses exceeding $150,000) and frequent maintenance, which would affect the plaza's competitiveness in attracting high-end tenants.
